What should be the first step when setting up a drill motor?

The first step when setting up a drill motor is to assemble the drill guide. The drill guide provides stability and precision during the drilling process, ensuring that the drill bit is properly aligned with the workpiece. By assembling the drill guide initially, an operator can maintain consistent accuracy and prevent issues that may arise from misalignment.

While checking the drill bit for damage, attaching the air line, or inspecting the assembly surface are all important steps in the setup process, they can be conducted after the drill guide is in place. The drill guide establishes the framework within which these subsequent checks can be implemented. Prioritizing the assembly of the drill guide helps streamline the setup and enhances overall safety and efficiency in the drilling operation.
